Project Proposal – Dylan

My proposed project is to create a blog focused on the ways artificial intelligence is being used in human resources with the mission of advocating for more transparency around how it is used and more accountability from the organizations that are using it. My goal is to create a “home” or resource center for this topic where interested parties can gather to get and share information and potentially mobilize to change public policy. My target audience would be anyone concerned with protecting worker and civil rights, including the workers themselves, but more specifically individuals who have some authority to make change, such as disability rights activists, social justice activists, journalists, people working in employment law, and elected officials.

Given the amount of time left in the summer session, I envision launching a basic framework for the blog that will include a welcome message to explain the major issues and stakes related to AI in HR and to inspire others to participate in creating a community with me. My message will include embedded links to relevant supporting sources. In the blog framework, I will also create a subsection for Recommended Reading, where links to important research and articles can be found, and a subsection for an Advocacy Toolkit. I’m still trying to decide exactly what would go into these sections, but I know I want to at least provide readers with a few recommendations for practical things they can do to help the cause. I would love to spark a movement that would lead to real change.
